ప్రతిదినం ఇచ్చే దానాన్ని ‘త్రికామ’ అని అంటారు. అది సంతానం, విజయం, ఐశ్వర్యం అనే మూడు కోరికల సిద్ధికోసం, అలాగే స్త్రీలు మరియు పిల్లల హితార్థం కూడా ఇవ్వబడుతుంది.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative convention)
Scene: A household at dawn prepares food and coins; the householder gives daily alms to a needy mother with children and to a pilgrim; a subtle motif of three fruits/three lamps symbolizes the ‘three desires’.
Charity offered consistently (daily) is praised as a dharmic act that can be dedicated to specific righteous aims, especially the welfare of family and dependents.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; the focus is on dāna-dharma as taught within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa.
A practice of giving ‘day by day’ (regular, ongoing dāna) with an intended purpose such as offspring, victory, prosperity, and protection of women and children.
